Zinc Oxide

Brief Overview
Zinc oxide is an inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. It is a white powder that is insoluble in water. It is a chemical or raw material for: pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, antiseptics, soaps, ointments, animal feed, chemicals derived from zinc, matches, paints, pigments, ceramics, adhesives, plastics, additives for rubber, tires, among others. Zinc oxide is present in the earth's crust as the mineral zincite. That being said, most zinc oxide used commercially is synthetic.
Manufacturing Process
It can be used electrolytic zinc available from approved suppliers to produce several grades of zinc oxide. In the production of French Process zinc oxide, zinc is melted, then vaporized and drawn into an oxidation chamber. Controlled conditions at the oxidation stage produce the particle size conforming to the individual grades manufactured. When cooled, the zinc oxide is collected, sampled, and analyzed to ensure conformity to grade specifications.The purity, consistency, and uniformity of particle size are assured through the application of statistical process control and quality assurance techniques.
